Customer Ratings & Reviews

Do not but this thing, it’s pretty clear that NVIDIA has no intention of supporting it long term. I brought this primarily for the ability to stream my PC to it via GameStream, only to discover after purchase that the feature had been pulled some months before my purchase. This despite the fact that the feature is still advertised on NVIDIA’s product page. It is also extremely slow, with poor download speeds and video quality. Avoid this product.

Not impressed with overall visual performance over other media devices. There are some good features but not enough to justify the cost and lack of better video/audio.

Works Great. Theres a noise on some channels though.

Great as always, this is my 3rd Nvidia, I am still using my first 2 but this was a gift for my 74 year old father in law. He uses it everyday and it was a very easy learning curve for him

Worked pretty good, wish it worked with Directv stream.

This has been a phenomenal device compared to my Roku or the god awful Firestick and was an easy transition from my old western digital media player. The latest Android TV update completely ruins the clean Home screen that this device once had, now you are blasted with ads that take up half the home screen as soon as you turn it on.

Does not support Directv Stream. It will not allow you to download the app.

Was great until last Google update. Now it's an advertising spam blast. And, depending on your political views and the current state of affairs with popular media, you may be very annoyed by said advertisements. Until Nvidia or Google fix this there is little reason to pay $200. Save your money

Don't buy if you're going to just use it for streaming. HDR video quality is not as good as roku and other 4k streaming devices. The price makes it worse when you'll get the same streaming experience with the TIVO or Google android base devices.

Unless you're buying specifically for steam, save yourself some money and just get a firestick. This devices' streaming ui is a NIGHTMARE. Again, works for gaming...kind of. But if youre thinking of buying this primarily for streaming media, look elsewhere. Just save yourself the hassle.

Picture not as crisp as Apple 4k. Returned to store and kept Apple.

not worth the money. Main reason I bought it is to stream my PC games to my living room TV with the Nvidia Stream, which is unfortunately being discontinued. It was a great value until Nvidia decided to pull support for game streaming

Didnt work with gaming controller. Wanted to cast from my pc.

I get it... The box is great for PC to TV game streaming, I guess... but for average usage, my Apple TV was a lot more trouble free and comfortable to use. I have had several issues with sound not working, which seems to be isolated to this box. It's also very picky about WiFi connections, but works good over ethernet.

Worked great initially however started crashing on me a lot while streaming shows/movies. Ran multiple troubleshooting steps and got it to work semi consistent. Last draw was Chromecast Built-in did not work with my Oculus Quest. Overall great product to streamline all streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc)...when it worked.

Upscaling not that great. Geforce now and xcloud marginal up scalling.

Very slow and laggy, my older one downstairs is much better

Love nvidia shield… hate that Best Buy tried to pass off an opened item as new. This seems to be happening too often from Best Buy. Was I not supposed to notice the broken seals that were put back together with scotch tape?

Enjoyed using my SHIELD for over a year without issue until this week when they added huge scrolling home screen adverts. This is what you expect from cheap USB streaming dongles not premium $200 set top boxes. If this is not resolved in the next update I plan to sell this and avoid Nvidia for future streaming purchases.

I ended up returning this because it isnt running the latest OS and seems dated. I think Nvidia has abandoned these devices. Thank you Best Buy return policy.
